Paris Sisters

The Paris Sisters bridged the gap separating the traditional vocal pop of the post-World War II era from the equally generation-defining girl group sound that emerged in the wake of rock & roll. By the 1961 release of their Phil Spector-produced breakthrough "I Love How You Love Me," the siblings were already longtime veterans of the music business. Albeth (the oldest), Sherrell (the middle child), and Priscilla Paris (the baby) were born and raised in San Francisco. Their mother, Faye, was the quintessential stage parent, a former opera singer who continued her career vicariously through her children.

When they finally resurfaced on Lester Sill's fledgling Gregmark label in 1961, the impresario insisted on a top-to-bottom overhaul of their approach, tapping up-and-coming producer Phil Spector to shepherd the transformation.
Spector relegated Albeth and Sherrell to the background, and while he turned the spotlight on Priscilla, he insisted she dial back her powerful voice to a dusky whisper.
While the Paris Sisters' Gregmark debut, "Be My Boy," earned little notice, the follow-up, "I Love How You Love Me," cracked the US Top Five, galvanized by Priscilla's intimate lead turn and Spector's atypically restrained production.

Best of the Paris Sisters is from this era. I included 'Dream lover' and a slower version of 'I love how you love me' as well.

Look in the comments.

I have enjoyed what I've heard of Priscilla Paris's solo work. I am glad for the opportunity to hear more.

If you hadn't complained about not getting any comments, I would have forgotten all about this post, which I passed over last week due to lack of time. So I guess that warrants a comment (which is actually of more use to me than to you, as it may drive traffic to my own site).

@Poet Jim

Thanks for your comment.
Just visited today (2006_12_29) , sorry, your BLog by clicking your logo/profile.

Really nice BLog and worth to visit.
So reader of this, you know what you have to do ... :-)

Jim, you seems to try (like me) to be a little bit different compared to most BLoggers. Make yor BLog a personal touch. Very nice !!

Only difference is I like real music so I am in for the Rolling Stones.
You seem to like that local music band from Liverpool more ... :-)

I don't see a way I can comment on your BLog (in private). Is that correct ?

The link is down ("temporarily unavailable") sadly. I'm impressed that you shared it and thanks for that, I'll look around more... if you'd be so kind as to let me know if it ever goes back up I would appreciate it.

Hi Arvo.
Indeed ("temporarily unavailable").

Suppose it had something to do with their servers 'cause I just checked and I was able to get it.

Hi Anders, Swedish old-time car lover.....
Took a few days before responding. Was re-upping this one to RS, and while doing so checked my link above.
It was no problem getting it !
So it seems it was just temporary again (just like ARVO before).
So please try again.
BTW dont forget to replace in the link twice the asterix * by the letter a

Jean

Enjoy your retirement ... if we ever do ...?

Just found the Paris Sisters ... wonderful ...!

Except that the unzip ... partially worked ...!

Can you be of any assistance with this ...?

Phillip, download and pass worked fine.
Suppose your download wasn't complete/correct.
Advice re-download.
